Bogie mount inside this tube is a heavy retainer pin and flange at 2 inches in diameter at the base , when a torch cut 2 thirds threw this pin holding back the giant spring inside the tube broke hitting the fell army steps north vancouver I left the springs behind and set to work removing the huge sections of the cannon traverse unit complet connected to the base gear , then the elevation unit very heavy part required a moving company to take it to 1458 east 29th street Lynn valley my helper bill Macdonald best friend shared my interest  I took both the traverse unit station and elevation station both are very heavy peices with seats for the gunners also the fuse setting unit  Made of aluminum cast  and steel  also I took solid brass worm gear about 100 pounds part of elevation system and I took the heavy brass shims I took the electronic box’s marked in red some where cast aluminum and solid brass  Pictures of me with the traverse station from tony parsons...
